Recording audio possible with tvOS?

Question

I have an iOS app that I would like to port to tvOS. However, the app requires that the user to speak into a microphone and record their voice. I was hoping to use the microphone on the remote control. The current iOS app uses AVAudioRecorder to record the user's voice. However, I looked at the AVFoundation API and it appears that AVAudioRecorder is not available in tvOS.

Is there another API or workaround for this, or am I just out of luck?

Answer 1

According to this post on the developer forums, it appears that using the Siri Remote microphone is not currently available:

No, there's no API to access to the microphone.
